I was going to make it black because I thought it would look better. But the adds I have been looking at paying for just give you a small picture. I needed the contrast so that people could see what it was.

If you could make this black and gold/copper, I'd buy 3 (one for mine and two for my siblings)

Edit: I was just thinking, it's too bad there isn't an app (that I know of) that can map the droid's keyboard buttons to on screen presses or other keys, to make something like this universally compatible. A lot of iPhone ported games have on screen D pads and those things drive me crazy.

Well depending on the coding environment, when looking at making apps for multiple platforms you will have methods like:

moveCharacterUp(), moveCharacterDown()

and on a user input layer you'll have things like :

onDroidDpadUpKeyPress( moveCharacterUp() )

onIphoneScreenButtonUpKeyPress( moveCharacterUp() );

onAccelerometerTiltUp( moveCharacterUp() );

So all you have to do is wire up the devices specific inputs to your existing methods, which isn't much work at all. More likely moving from native iPhone to Android is much more work because its basically translating from one language to another.

Yeah I get what you're saying, i'm more referring to a global app that either launchs other apps or runs in the background that let's you map one key to another (like for apps that only let you use the dpad or on screen buttons) so that you can change the keys for compatibility with this accessory. Each app doing it on their own would be nice but that's asking too much probably.
